《在沙漠中》 斯蒂芬·克莱因 林木译
在沙漠中
我看到一个生物，赤裸，野蛮，
蹲在地上，
手里握着他的心，
并啃食着。
我问：“它好吃吗，朋友？”
“它苦——非常苦，”他回答；
“但我喜欢它，
“因为它是苦的，
“而且因为它是我的心。”
In the Desert
Stephen Crane
In the desert
I saw a creature, naked, bestial,
Who, squatting upon the ground,
Held his heart in his hands,
And ate of it.
I said, “Is it good, friend?”
“It is bitter—bitter,” he answered;
“But I like it
“Because it is bitter,
“And because it is my heart.”
